LITTLE BEGINNINGS.
Rev. Mr.. Garvin breaches on This
Subject Last Evening.

Rev. Mr.. GarYin, who is travelling
through the Northwest in the interests
of the Grant Memorial university,
preached last evening at the jackson
Street Methodist Episcopal church. He
preached on the subject, Little Be-
ginnings.; He said: Small causes
often produce marvellous effects. Man
is prone to look forward TO great results,
but he is unwilling to take the small
steps. Little thoughts are fundamental
to human character. 1t is the first sip
of intoXicantS that makes the drunkard.
Time is required to bring about all
great results. All natural laws
come from the seed thoughts on
the tablets given to Moses on
the mount. All great scientific and
philosophical laws are the result of small
beginnings. The book of science will
ever be changed, but it will never be
completed. Light must be thrown on
the human mind and the spirit of man
prepared for the final day. Christianity
gives man noble thoughts, but he meets
with difficulties and becomes discour-
aged. We build the ladder Oh which
we climb. No Christian has right to
be ashamed of anything but sin"

short address on the educational work
in the Central South, and particularly
at the university founded by Gen.
Grant for the benefit of sons and daugh-
tiers of loyal soldiers. He said that 5000
students had graduated from the instI-
tuition. a number of whom are now hold
ing high positions of trust. The lnStl-
tuition is distinctively Methodist Episco-
pal. Illiteracy in that section of the
country is due to the fact that the poorer
classes have 10 chance to obtain an edu-
ton. He took up no collection. but

COAL is GOING UP.
A Rather Startling State Of Affairs
That Affects Your Fuel Box.

This is the season of the year when
frugal folk will begin to lay in stock
of coal for the winter. According to
alarming reports the price of coal is
going to take considerable rise in the
near future, and it is predicted that in
st. Paul hard coal will advance to $40
per ton by December. The present fig
ureS are $50. a. G.. Foster, of GrippS
q Foster. formerly secretary of the Le-
high Coal and Iron company. does not
anticipate any scarcity of coal in st.
Paul during the coming winter. but pre-
diets rise of from p to 80 cents a ton
by the 1St of September.
The dealers in St. Paul. he said,
shave nearly as much coal in the docks
now as at the close of transportation
last year, but the great difficulty just
now is due to the scarcity of tranSpOrta-
ton facilities. There is not nearly the
amount of tonnage available for coal OH
the lakes this year that there was last.
This is owing to the fact that a large
number of vessels that were last year
engaged in both the coal and iron trades
have this year been working in the iron
trade exclusively. They were chartered
last winter to run III the iron ore buSi-
ness only. In previous years these
vessels took ore from the Lake Superior
regions and returned from Buffalo,
Cleveland and other points with hard
and soft coal: this year it is condition
of their contracts that they shall not
carry back coal. AS consequence. the
available tonnage is much less than last
year, while on the other hand the de-
mand for bituminous coal to come by
water has greatly increased. refer to
the coal that is shipped here from Cleve-
land, Toledo, Sanansky and such
points. OF course, there are not SO
many vessels II. handle this coal, while,
on the other hand, the demand for yes
sells to handle hard Geal is nearly
double what it was a year ago. The
demand is constantly Increasing, and
this lack of facilities for shipping by
way OF Duluth is apt to create a scarcity
in the market. 1t would be hard to
predict what is to be the price of coal
OF any other commodity, but l shall look
for considerable advance before New

1T WAS A FORGERY.
A letter PurpOrting to Have Been
Written by Mr.. Howes, Of Winni-

peg.
ST. Paul people will remember that in
October of 1886 an agitation looking
toward the secession of Manitoba, was
begun in Canada. The following :let-
ter, purporting to have been written by
Mack HOwes, of Winnipeg. was read in
the house at Ottawa, and was published
at that time in all the papers:
Dear Sir: think there has not been since
the commencement of the agitation a better
time TO strike than the present; everything
ripe for it. | am certain seYen-elghthS of the
people OF Winnipeg are in our favor, and l
am certain 400 or 800 good men Will accom-
plsh our object without any difficulty what
ever. The fact of the matter Is this, we have
nothing TO resist us: the military here is
nothing more than pack OF boys, and we
have easy access to Store-roomS. We had
small meeting tonight and the parties pres
ent were unanimous in favor OF making
strike at once. Now, think tnat II we delay
we will be losing ground and the thing will
never be accomplished. / would like to
know the possible number of men who can
be got from the country to assist in the
scheme | hope you will come to some def
mite conclusion at your council meeting. Be
lieye me, am in perfect sympathy with you,
and | am ready at any time to take more
active part in the business and see If we
can't get the people their rights Kindly let
me hear from you IN the matter III your edTil-
est convenience, and oblige yours, frater-
nally. MACK HowEs, 7. q.
The letter was written to George Pur-
Wis, of Brandon, secretary of the Farm
ers' union, and was the cause of con-
siderable excitement. Mr.. HoweS, who
is now resident of st. Paul, in conver
sation with GLOBE reporter yesterday,
said that the whole thing was ma
licious forgery, perpetrated by Mr..
Gibson. one of his political enemies. He
had never been a supporter of secession,
in fact, at a meeting of secessionists
held in Winnipeg at that time he de-
clared himself as opposed to the idea.
He only wanted to see the people of
Manitoba, particularly the farmers, get
their lust dues. MI. HoWes, who is a

INDIANS WHO CUT TIMBER.
Inspector Stevens Says They
Know Their Business Pretty

Wisconsin, the home of the Lac Court
O'Reilles tribe, spent yesterday in ST..
Paul, and in the course of conversa-
tion with representative of the GLOBE
stated that the Indians had cut, during
the season just ended, S7,0O0,O00 feet of
lumber. There had been considerable
outcry over this showing, but it Origi-
mated with people who desired to drive
the Indians off in order that they might
obtain the valuable timber lands be-
longing to this tribe. But the Indians
are pretty smart at looking after their
own business" continued Mr.. Stevens,
land many of the half-breedS are about
as good at making a bargain as white
men who have had better opportunities.
Indiscriminate cutting of timber should
be discouraged by every possible means,
otherwise the magnificent forests of the
Northwest will soon be a thing of the
past, but under proper restrictions they
can be perpetuated for all indefinite
